Abstract
Busbar assemblies are disclosed. The busbar assemblies allow electric current to be distributed through electrically conductive cables that are held in contact with a substantially solid conductive bar by a cable retention system that does not require through-holes in the conductive bar and which decrease the bar's current carrying capacity. Further, the cable retention system retains the cables in consistent contact with the bar and resist loosening due to vibration and thermal cycling.
